The approach looks fine to me. The only basic query I have is about
the default: shouldn't it be with resource manager on rather than off?
I can't really think of a use case that wants the RM off (even if
you're running your own, having another doesn't hurt anything, and it's
still required to share with in-kernel uses).

I've also added an enabling patch to the tss

https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:jejb1:Tumbleweed/tss2/0002-tssProperties-add-TPM_USE_RESOURCE_MANAGER.patch?expand=1

And with that, I've TPM 2 enabled both gnome-keyring and openssl:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:jejb1:Tumbleweed/gnome-keyring
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:jejb1:Tumbleweed/openssl_tpm_engine

I'm running them in production on my day to day laptop and so far
everything's working nicely (better than 1.2, in fact, since tcsd
periodically crashes necessitating a restart of everything).

So you can definitely add my Tested-By.
